IT MUST be pleasant to edit a demo- cratic paper in Kansas, extolling the virtues of ('leveland and exhorting dem- ocrats to vote for Weaver. MATILDA FLETCHER will visit Omaha soon and tel! us “What is Man,” Itis only natural for women to talk ot sub- jeets with which they are not familiar. Mr. WeHRER feels pretty comfort- able these duys. The Board of Eduea- tion hag no sergeant-at-nrms and has no power to compel the attendance of mem- bers. ThE Minnesota democrats and alli- ance people have fused, and the repub- licans are much more contident of bent- ing this combine than they were before the political misfit had been spliced. THE tide has turned strongly 1n favor of the view first expressed by THE BEE, that the employment of the Pinkertons was decidedly mischievous but the strikers were not justified in their ac- tion. THE wind destroyed the democratic wigwam in Chicago and the “Frankie Folsom" sank at Peoria. How can the demociats have any more hopes in this campaign, least of all of carrying Illi nois. THE city council was strangely unani mous in rejecting the Ketcham furni ture. It is necessary to stir up officials, but if they see the peonle are aroused they climb into the band wagon quite hastily. MEssrs. CHAMBERLAIN and Stanley should learn a lesson from Mrs. Lease and J. Ellen Foster, and allow their wives to do the campnigning while they saw wood and do the cooking at homwe. A pEriCIT of only $14,000 on the na- tional drill fraud! That is a pretty burden for Omaha citizens to bear. The next city solected by that outfit a lesson from should take experience. Omaha's sad Now that Major Balcombe has been confirmed our citizens will expect the board to take a movs upon itself and proceed to expedite the paving and work upon the sewers without further tomfoolery. The W.-11. has kindly figured it out that the republicans will elect no con- gressmen in Nebraska this y Now if this astute authority wiil be kind enough to let the voters have a hand in this matter, perhaps they wili be bet- tor satisticd, It SHOULD not be forgotten that only afew yearsago Mr. Carnegie offered to turn over his mill to the employes if they would assure him an income of 5 per centon the investment, and after examination they declined, being of the opinion that they could make more on their wages, PAUL VANDERSNORT, who has free access to the political columns of the Double-Dicker, is making himself very numerous these doys with suggestions 1o republicans as to how they should conduct their mpaign. If Mr. Van- dersnort would attend strictly to the Dbusiness for which he has been engaged by the ruilioad managers, he will have his bands full without meddling with what does not concern him, Tk congressional investigation of the steel workers strike at Homestead may throw & good deal of light on the relations of Carnegie’s mill wanagers and their omployes. Chairman Boatner of the committee doclures, after examin- ing the pay roll, that the wages paid by the Carnegio company were the highest he ever heard of. Bostner is a Louis- iuna democrat and not in the least frienaly to protection or protected in- duatries. THE people’s party leaders of the south sny they are going to carry all the southern states by allowing the negroes all to votg the people’s party ticket. This is n high bid for the negro vote. Have thoy not always claimed that the negro could vote if he chose? Is not this unigue proposal an admission of south- ern Ku Klux methods? But what is there of the boasted freedom of elections if the only condition under which the vegroes will be allowed to vote is that they vote the crazyquilt party ticket? A FREE COINAGE DEFEAT. Free silver coinnge has met with another repulse in the house of repro- sentativ Last week the bill by the sennte was favorably reported to the house by the committee on coinage, weights and measures and placed on the salendar. The committee on rules also agreed to bring in a resolygjion provid- ing that the house should proceed with the consideration of the measure on Waednesday of this week. This resolu- tion was submitted tothe house yester- day and was defeated. The failure of this second attempt to get a froe coinnge bill considered by the house will doubtless put anend to offorts in this direction at the present session. While it is unquestionable that a large majority of the democrats in the house are in favor of such a measure, those opposed to it and the democrats who be- lieve such isintion would not, from a political point of view, be expedient at this time, together with the repub- licans, are strong enough to prevent a free coinnge bill being considered. There has been a change of position re- garding this question on the part of some democrats since the Chicago con- vention, not as to its merits, but with regard to the policy of making it an issuc at this time. A number of demo- crats who oppose free coinage now are prompted entirely by the consideration of political expediency. They are in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, but they believe that it would be damaging to the party to pass a bill for this purpose now. There is a con- siderablo element, composed chiefly of representatives from tho eastern states, who are honestly opposed to the free coinage policy, but thoy are largely in the minority. The repulse of the democratic free coinuge advocates in the house will not help the party with those who under- stand the situation. The fact remains that a majority of the represenuatives of the democracy in both the house and the senate favor free and unlimited sil- ver coinnge, and that in this they rep sent the sentiment of a large majority of the party. On March 24 the house voted on an order to take up the Bland bill, and it was supported by 130 demo- crats, 81 voting against it, showing a democratic majority for freo silver of 49. At the same time 67 republicans voted against the order and 11 for it, the republican majority against free silver being 56. On July 1 the senate ssed the Stewart silver bill, the most radicai free coinage measure ever pre sented in congress. There were 18 democratic votes for the bill and 7 against it, a democratic majority for free silver of 11, while there were 11 re- publican votes for and 18 against the bill. There is no possibility of misunder- standiug the meaning of testimony of this kind. It shows conclusively how the representatives of the two great parties in congress stand regarding this most important issue, and this must be accopted as showing the roal atti- tude of the parties, regardless of the makeshifts of platforms. Every bit of evidence worthy of consideration shows that the democracy, as a party, is in tavor of free silver coinage, and if it had the power would put that policy into effect in company with free trade. A COVERT APPEAL, The call for the Jowa democratic con- vention is unique, Ordinarily, such calls are mere formal and business notices, but this year’s call contains the h and a cunning nis clause germ of a stump spec appeal for outside support. reads thus: All voters who believe that the present system of protection is a burden to the farmer, iniquitous to busiuess interests, detrimental to the general weltaro of the country, and of no benefit to the laborer, even though employed iz the Carnegie and other protected industries, and all who wish candidates for state offices to bo seleoted with roference to their standing upon ques- tions affecting the policy of this state, are in- vited to becoms factors in selecting delegates to this convention. There can possibly be no mistaking that subtile invitation to mugwumps and disaffected workingmen to take part in democratic caucuses. Tt is also a manifest attempu to keep the people’s party from drawing democrats away from their old party. In other words it isa cunning, sly subterfugo to Towa for Grover Clevelund. In Towa, as in Oregon, the ve majority of the people’s party vote will come from democratic ranks, Chairman Fuilen of the lowa democracy sees this, and has attempted not only to stem the tide but to turn the current so that the political driftwood will all be drawn into the democratic channel, Itis frequently published and blazoned abroad that the Iowa democracy is a new organization, a purer party than the old oneand, presumably by virtue of its republican accessions, a move manly and intelligent body of men. There is no doubt that these accessions have givey the party o prestige which it has nov deserved and which it coald not sus- tain. The real charactor of the party is shown in this bid for fusion and ap- peal to keep the straying democrat in the fold, This calamity stump speech in a formal document eannot fuil to inspire the erving republicans who voted for Boies and convince them that in th presidenti their votes should be cast for républican candidates, OMAHA INDUSTRIES, The fact that Omaha now has 160 wanufucturing industries, representing a capital of nearly #,000,000 and pr ducing annually #35,000,000 worth goods, is very encourngivg when it is capture great 1 voar remembered that these industries have grown up within a few years and that their cstablishment on o firm basis was effected in the face of a strong competi- tion. Ten years sgo very few people belioved that Omaha would ever have any standing as a manufacturing point, and thoso why then argued that there was a possibility of this city becoming an important industrial center met with little consideration. Time has demonstrated the superior Judgment of the latter class, and it has not taken a very long time to do it either. It can safely be asserted that y fow of the manufacturing cities of rreater indus- ve the country made much trial progress in the first quarter of a of | OMAH contury of their existence than Omaha has achioved. With the exception of less than half a dozen, this city has grown in this respect as vigorously as any in the country, and when all the conditions are considered its progr has been more than noteworthy. I'his ought to ingpire faith in the fu- ture. What has been accompiished clea points the way o greate achievement. The conditicns which have mage mahufacturing here profit- able up to the present point have not changed except ns they have enlarged. The territory tributary to the Omaha market is steadily incrensing 1n popula tion and prosperity, and nobody doubts that it will continue to increase. Withih a radius of o few hundred miles from this city there will be within a geners tion the densest agricultural population in the country, and this city will be the commercial metropolis of this populous region. Can there be uny doubt that there is a most promising field here for more manufacturing industries? Omaha ought to double the amount of 1t manufactured products within the next five years, and it will do so if the right spirit and enterprise are exerted in showing the advantages of the city as a manufacturing point and encouraging the investment of capital in industries. It is true that the city is well known abrond,and there is a pretty widespread appreciation of its possibilities, but it is desirable that these should be constantly urged upon the attention of those most likely to take a practical interestin them. It is also necessary that there shall be a liberal policy for inducing capital to invest in industries. We know, of course, that these things have been said before many times. The sub- ject is not new. But as a matter of the very highest importance to the future of this city 1t can hardly be discussed 100 frequently or too earnestly. We be- lieve that at preseat public interest init is not as keen and active as it should be, and that an effort ought to be made o arouse it. WEAKER THAN TWO YEARS AGO. A leading organ of mugwumpery re cently said that jtisidle to deny that the democracy as a party, judged by its most recent record, is not so strong as it was two years ago. It gave as reasons for this the fooling with the project of free coinage, the lack of unity, firmn and intelligence in dealing with the re- form of the tarifl, and the wild extrava- gance of the river and harbor bill. This is an altogether inndequate presentment of the reasons for the loss of popuiar confidence in the democratic party. It not only fails to give all the reasons, but omits the most important ones. A principal cause of the loss of demo- cratic strength during the past two years is the fact that the people are con- scious of having been grossly deceived by that party. They were told two years ago that the new tariff law would inflict great hardship upon them, do in- finite damage to many interests, and bring about general disaster. 1t wasa time of depression. There was a vniversal demand for relief. The people were easily impressed by the democratic provhecy of greater troubles to come as the vesult of republican policy. Ac- ordingly they elected u house of repre- ntatives having an overwhelming democratic majority. How has the prophecy of cvil turned out? Every candid man will admit that it has failed. The country is very much more pros- perous now than it was two years ago, its domestic and foreign commerce Las largely increased, new industries have been established and old ones enlarged. No interest has boon damaged by the tariff, and taking the whole range of the necessaries they cost no more today, and many of them cost less, than two years ago. Knowing these things the people see that they wore deceived by the demo- cratic party, and when they consider what the representatives of that party in congress have donein the interest of free trade, and of a policy which would debase the currency of the country, it is not surprising thav the democracy as a party is not so strong as it was two years ago. It would be putting a cheap estima on the intelli of the Americun pzople to assume that after this experience they would continue their confidence in the democratic party ana aceept with unquestioning faith its promises for the future. The evidence they have befo e them is that the whole purpose of the democracy is renctionary, that its aim is not to build up but pull down, and that if it should obtain con- trol of the legislative and exocutive d partments of the government there would follow a change in the financial and business conditions of the country 80 radical as to amount to a revolution, Itis true that the democracy is not 50 strong us it was 1wo years ago, and it will continue to lose in popular confi- dence the more carefully its course is considered and its pol and principles discussed, nce —_— Tue council chambe to be car- peted with Brussels or Wilton, and we would suggest that an order be given for dozen solid silver cuspidors, and when they have been put in place it would not be out of pluce to appoint some colored gentleman of high degree as superintendent of cuspidors at a sal- ary of say #1,200 a year. And this should be followed by ap ordinance re- quiring every councilman to appear in a full dress suit at overy session with a *biled” shirt studded with hotel-clerk gems.

Me Horr makes the cloarest, soundest and most entertaining republican speech of any man in the United States, and republicans of this city should uvail themselves of the op portunity presented by attending the Fremont Chautauqua enmasse on that day.

VEAsEY of the Interstate Com- merco commission gives the gratifying information that the railroads are ob- serving the law more closely now than they are given credit for. He states that it has been the experience of the commission that four-fifths of the alle- gations ngainst the railronds are groundless. [t isa fact that there have been fewer complaints ntly of vio- lations of the interstate commerco law than were made a year or two ago, but it is quite possible that the explanation of this is to be found in the fact that the busin public has less confidence in the ability or power of the commission 10 correct abuses than it formerly had and therefore does not go to the ‘rouble of making complaints. It is not ques- tionable that there have been a great many groundless allegations mado against the railroads, though it is hurdly credible that the proportion of such to those having merit has been as large ns Mr. Veasey : but granting this to have been so, is it not u fact that the commission has failed to enforce the law in most of the cases in which there was ground for complaint? Ifitbe afact that the railroads are now showing more respect for the law than formerly the commission certainly cannot claim much credit for this improved state of affairs. It has never seriously at- tempted to enforce the law, even when its flagrant violation was admitted by members of the commission. It has been profuse in watnings and admoni- tion, but very careful not to take any steps to inflict puhishment. However, the railroad managers are to be com- mended for whatever reform has taken place in their methods, whether from a better regard for the law or for their own and their patrons’ interests. his. h roc MAYOR BEMIS appears to be very sanguine when he intimaies that the city hall is to be finished and ready for occupaney during the present century. This century will peter out in less than nine years und it would be hard on Con- tractor Coots to indist that he should hand the keys of the city hall within such a brief period. What does Mayor Bemis think anyhow! Do public buildings build themselv Isn’t this age altogetier too fast and fastidious? What right had the mayor to expect that he should occupy quarters in the city hall during his present term, or for that matter the next term,if such a thing could be? Does any rational per- son imagine that Henry Osthoff would have been in such a hurry if he had been elected mayor? over I¥ THE city has any right to supervise the construction of sidewalks and pre- ibe the material its ordinances should strictly enforced. The so-called be stone sidewalk that is now being laid on Farnam, west of BEightcenth street, i scarcely a fit substitute for plank. It is almost us rough as a cobblestone pave- ment, and should be condemned by the spectors and taken up. Soon or later the city witl have to take charge of the construction of sidewalks, just as it does of curbing and paving. Then we will have uniform sidewatks of material that will come up to the specifications and stand the tes Our amiable contemporary (the Omaha Fourth of July Watchdog) inti- mates that the selection of Mr. Cleburne as inspector in a paving district in which he is the lar landowner is out of place, if notimproper. Quite the contrar Mr. Cleburne will see to it that the pavement for which he is taxed is laid in a workmanlike manner and that the specifications as to quality and quantity of material are strictly adhered to. Mr. Cleburne is a first class civil en- gineer and isn’t likely to allow contract- ors to lay defective work in front of his own property. est End ot 111s Tether, Ch'eago News.

Dr. S. D. Mercer desires through the col- umns of Te Brr to express his appreciation of the compliments extended to him by the Douglas County Harrison club at the recent meeting held ot McArdie precinct, at which he was unanimously endorsed as the choice of the farmers of Douglas county for the of ice of governor., Politicians proverbially have very unre- lisble memories. The mere suggestion on tho part of the chairman of the republican state contral committeo that it might bo ad visable to set the date of the state conven- tion ahead a weok or ten days with a view to giving vhe party sufficient time to digost the independent platform and offset any move that might be mado at Kearney on the 3rd of August has set a lot of political chattorboxes to gabbling about the precedent of two years a0 when tho convontion was postponed two or three weeks to satisfy certain republicans. It this talk had been only confined to the Omaha Fake Factory it would hardly be worth noticing, but soveral ropublican papers have fallen in with this chaff and pro tend to have discovered a groat mare's nest. As a matter of fact the aate of holding the state convention two yoars ugo was set for- ward instend of backward, but this was done by the committeo at the meeting called for the purpose of fixing the date and nam- g the vlace for holding the convention. The committeo at first was disposed to set the time for tho last of August or not carlier than the middle of that mouth. On au ap- poal from prominant republicans, including Dan Nettleton, N. V. Harlan, Judge Reese and E. Rosowater, the dato was sot for the 24th of with 8 view of heading off the stampede into the ndependent camp. This was good politics, and if the campaign had been vigor- ously opened all along the line immediately following the convention the varty might have elected every man on the ticket. Jim Creighton, who orides himself as being a rantankerest democrat and has alwavs been a red-hot Clevoland man, has suadenly been converted to Weaver and wild-cat financiering. This is oniy one ot the straws which polats the way to the guileless alli ance fly iuto the democratic spider's parlor. A demand has suddenly sprung up in var- fous parts of tho state for copies of Tur By of last March with the famovs illustration of the “‘hickory snirt masquerade” and tho motto: “Chooso yo this day whom ye will serve.”” For the information of the public wo will sav that the March edition with a duplicate copy of B. & M. “pass 14,713, gond for ono trip only,” has run out, Walt Seoly probably has a supply of the original docu- ment on hand. Traveling men report that a mysterious political activity has of late been manifested all over the state by the insurance agen Most of these agents are said to be very anx- ious that the present deputy auditor. Bowe man, should sucoeed Tom Benton. That probably explains itself. The auditor's ofice has supervision over the insurauce business and mumtaius friendly relations with the agents. Most of the ageats, in fact, are un- der obligations for special favors and some of them for railrond pastevoard that has been procured for them. Governor Boyd is not a candidate; for he himself hath said it. Yet strango as 1t may soem, there are lots of good democrats in and out of Omaha who don’t believe it now any moro than they did before. The governor de- clarea yesterday that he was not and would not be a caudidate before the state conven- tion for any office, and that he knew of no circumstances or coutingencics under which he coutd be induced to change his mind. He said that he had neglected his private busi- ness for two or three years to give his atten- tion to political matters, and it is now his in- tention to devote himself for “'a year or two” to bis own affairs. He thought that it had been conclusively aemonstrated that he was the strongest mar in his party in the state, and he rejoiced to feel that what. little oppo- sition there was to him came from a little euvious clique right here in Omaha “They are eavious,” said tue governor, “envious, and that is all tuere is to it. The ouly ofticial act of mine that they have been ablo to find any fault with was my veto of the Newberry bill, and that fecling has about all dgicd out. After the peoplo began to look into it they saw that I was right. *1 think there 1s a very good show to elect a democratic governor this year. Of course the democrats are going o vote for the inde- pendent electors, That 1s already under- stood. A democratic electoral ticket will be nominated, but it witl be quietly given out that the votes are to go the other way. But we won't go and further on the independent ticket. A straight stato ticket will be nom- inated and it will poll the full party strength and more. You see, Vau Wyck is going to be nominated by the independeuts—that is conceded by everybody and the business in- terests of the state dewmand that he should not be elected. The conserva- tive men of both tho old parties, aud some of the independents, will not be willing to trust him in the executive chair, liable to sign auy wiid bill that tne legislature might pass. That is what makes the outlook good for the election of a demo- crat. ‘The democrats stay with their party whereas n number of the republicans have beeu straywng off of late, and after they go outside once it 150’t hard to et them to do it agam. They willsupport a good democratic nominee," “Whno are tho democratic candidatos ! “1 dow't know suything about it. I baven't heard. Yes, I bave heard Ireland and Wolbach mentioned, but I really kuow nothing es to their caadidacy.” “You thik there is need of a democratic governor to hold the next legislaturo lovel. Do you expect to see it strougly indepen- dent? “No, they won't have a majority, The next legisiature will bo a three-cornered affair, protty evenly divided.” Harvy Phelps of the Howells Journal, a democrat who doesn’t bauk on Governor Boyd, asserts that “if Boyd is renominated sure defeat awaits us.’” Mr. Phelps also in- quires with some heat: *What is our demo cratic stato committeo doing that they do not issuen call forastato convention( Are thoy dead or msleep! Have they for- golten that there is to be an election in No- vember or do thoy propose to Zive us a reps tition of last fall's campaign{” On the other hand the Fremont News, the latest convert to democracy n the state, wants a straight ticket put up aund asseris that the man whom the democrats will name for governor *will be the strongest opponent of th republican nomince,” James Whoitehead of Broken Bow spent Tuesday night in Omaha, but early yestcr day morning he hurried back lnto the Lig Sixth district, He only has uatil August 10 in which to complete his campaign for tho republican uwomination for coungress.
